Renovation drywall or regular

[evoline]

Hello,
In an old house there are wood panels in the bedroom, do you recommend putting renovation plasterboard over it or regular 13mm plasterboard to make it smooth?
Any other tips or things to consider when doing it?

Thanks in advance

Use regular plaster.

Regular plasterboard so that you can have paper tape and filler without creating unevenness...

Thanks for the quick response.

Anything else to consider?
I guess you need to fix the window frame in some way.
Or would it be easier if you removed the wood panels, what does it look like behind them to install drywall, are there just studs that you still need to put OSB over for it to hold?

Thanks in advance

The advantage of leaving the wood paneling is that it becomes easy to screw in both drywall and pictures/shelves. The disadvantage is, as mentioned, a bit of extra work around, for example, door and window openings. You don't need to put OSB behind for it to hold; one layer of drywall is sufficient (after all, it's the most common), but it can be practical for hanging things on the walls.

I'll leave the wood panels.

But the window frame needs to be removed and new ones installed to fit after the drywall. The frame on the wall side can probably remain, but I was thinking about the depth part, it needs to be wider, is that correct?

Thanks in advance

The plaster extends a bit, and then the molding in the window will not reach. With new casings, there will be a gap. Perhaps, if appealing, a klackfoder can be installed that fits slightly into the molding.

The plaster builds out a bit and then the trim in the window won't reach forward. With new moldings, there will be a gap. Perhaps if it appeals, a klackfoder can be placed that goes in a bit on the trim.

You mean a klackfoder around before attaching the molding around the window?

You mean an edge trim around before attaching the trim around the window?

Now we don't know what it looks like now. Thinking more about the extent that should remain and a gap that may be covered by an edge trim. A photo is good and some text on how you think.

Now we don't know what it looks like now. Thinking more about the extent remaining and the gap becoming, which can be covered by a klackfoder. A photo is good and some text on what you're thinking.

Ok, I'll get back to you on that when I'm going there.

If there are any built-in wardrobes near the wall, one can consider how they might be affected by an extra layer of drywall. That is, if there will be issues fully opening them or if the handle will hit.

Not the best picture I got, but this is how the ceiling, wall, and window look.
They also want a smooth ceiling because one part of the room is, hard to see in the picture.
Is it recommended to remove the wood panels on the ceiling or to plaster over it?

Thanks in advance
